Christmas Fairey part 2

A quick sitrep on the Fairey Battle.  The build is largely complete and there are only a couple of small gaps requiring filler.  For such an old kit (originally released in 1968) the parts fit is really quite impressive.  But there's still time to mess it all up...

My, they did have a big ol' wing span! Good work.

I think it rather has the look of a stretched Hurricane. Buy maybe that's just me...

I can see what you mean about the stretched Hurricane- I assume you have a game in mind for it already?

Cheers,

Pete.

Just finished reading Montefiore's book on Dunkirk, and he touches on the missions flown by the RAF in these beasts... awe inspiring courage of the RAF pilots...!

Cripes you must have got the pick of the bunch, mine is a real piece of work.

Good progress.

I have a couple of game ideas - but as always, don't expect anything soon!

Quite - flying in a Battle clearly wasn't a long-term career option!

Your kit was clearly supplied by a villan...
